Re: S Type Diesel
Hi Mike, it's been a number of weeks since i last posted on the dsc light coming on. I tried the diagnostic tool again while the light was showing on the dash but still nothing came up on the scan. Today on my way home from work I was stationary at a roundabout and noticed the light on, there was a ...

Re: High Pitched Sound Possibly From Parking Sensors
Over the last few months the sensors have stopped making irregular high pitched noises. I have not done a thing but everything seems to work as they should, electrical glitch perhaps?.

Re: S Type Diesel
Just tried again with the obd and finding that there is still no codes coming up. Adaptor errors is zero but other errors was slowly counting up as i left the engine ticking over. Count was up to 13 when i turned it off. Everything else seemed ok, it was telling me that it was connected to the ecu a...

Re: S Type Diesel
Hi. Mike, thanks for coming back to me. I changed the battery last year for a model listed in an earlier post. The original battery had been in the car since new so was 10 years old. As for the obd it is the torque pro app i down loaded, possibly user error as i have not used the set up before. I pa...

Re: S Type Diesel
Hi everyone, it's been a few months since I last posted a few comments on my s type. The DSC light that was coming on has returned, thought I had seen the last of it when I had the map sensor changed last December. It's very strange that it seems to come on once a week and once you stop and restart ...

Temperature Gauge
Evening Jag owners, over the last couple of days I have noticed something odd going on with the temperature gauge in my S Type Diesel. When you turn on the ignition the gauge goes back to the temperature of the car when you had turned it off. It quickly goes back to zero after you have started and t...

Re: S Type Diesel
Thanks Brian, i will have a look to see if the setting has changed. As i have said the system went on and off in a split second so could have changed something. Wishing all club members a happy Christmas and a great new year.Steve

Re: S Type Diesel
As previously mentioned I had booked my car into my local independent specialist for one of the turbo's to be replaced. A few days prior to this happening it started to drive like a pig, so I decided to drop off the car early so that I would not damage anything else. Literally out side the garage th...

Re: S Type Diesel
Had the jag looked over by a local garage yesterday and they said that there is an issue with the turbo. It is going in for a recon turbo in a weeks time. Using an indy jag specialist close to me. Contacted Guy Salmon in Bristol for a price and decided they were too expensive. Hopefully when the car...

Re: S Type Diesel
I changed the battery only 2 weeks ago, the car is going in to a local garage on Friday this week. I will ask them to give it a thorough look over including the battery.

Re: S Type Diesel
Well that did not last long, the dreaded DSC light came on again after the revs went over 2000 rpm on the way home from work. What can be done to see if the electrics are up to scratch?

Re: S Type Diesel
Drove to work this morning and no DSC light. Strange, i know it was cold at 5.30am (-1deg) but no sign of the light through out the 1/2 hour to work. I'm not counting any chickens yet, don't understand whats going on.

Re: S Type Diesel
Thanks Mike, a local garage is ls looking at my car next Friday. It will be interesting to see what they say. It's good to know that there is an alternative to having the turbo replaced if thats the answer they come up with. Asking the question to other club members, has anybody else had one of thei...

Re: S Type Diesel
Hi Mike, Do you know anybody who has had an actuator repaired? If so where did they go, was the repair a success. I'm still not sure yet if my issues are down to the actuator alone, but any good info would be an advantage at this stage. Thanks
